SHADOWS.

All, If we knew that in the coming years
Lies clouds would gather; If we surely
knew
That we should walk life's way midst pain and
tears,
And find no love and peace; what should we
do?
Or, If we knew that from the heartIess world
Our souls would turn with hungeIing weari-
nees,
Heartsick with want, and famished for word
OF tenderness, our aching hearts to bless.
Suppose we knew that sOmew where down LIES
way
The storm would beat upon US pltllessly;
That at the cleaning of some weary day
Oar paths would lead US through Gethsemane,
And we should lift our helpless, angushed cry
Out of the awful darkness, faint and lone,
so, Father, grant this cup may pass me by,'
And be too weak to say, "Thy will be done"
wonder if our weak hearts would not fail,
And shrink and faIter ere our feet had trod
The weary road that leads through sorrows
vale,
But brings our faltering footsteps nearer
God
All, idle, curious thoughts, you ask of me
That which my human weakness cannot
know.
Gods tender love hides all we cannot see
The mist and shadows ere they come and go.
But though we do not know, yet this 1 say:
That we should walk with steadfast footsteps
For in Gods own good time He'Ibring day
When all these mists will vanish in its dawn.
